The Pig Children

about

The Pig Children are a 4-piece progressive fusion-metal band from Midland, Michigan formed in March of 2007. Originally comprised of Kyle Phillips on vocals, Parker Langvardt on Bass, Ben Chargot on drums, and Tyler Johnson on guitar, the Pig Children started off as a joke at a high school talent show. They quickly realized they weren't just a joke and began to play shows where ever they could. Their self titled debut EP was released on July 25, 2008. After a year and a half of nonstop shows, including a spot on the '"Metal City" stage at Dirtfest 2008 and a sold out Midland Center for the Arts in November of 2008, they took a hiatus to regroup. 4 months later on Friday, February 13, 2009, The Pig Children returned to a full house with new guitarist, Jeff Schaffer replacing Tyler Johnson. Throughout the summer of 2009 The Pig Children continued to play shows including a trip to Chicago and Dirtfest 13 where they headlined one of 5 stages. At the same time they continued to record their first full length album. In August 2009 the band went on hiatus to pursue college but are planning to continue playing shows on breaks, including their CD release which is scheduled for early January 2010. These guys aren't done yet so keep your eyes on The Pig Children.
